Hollywood stars grace the front pages of newspapers and magazines with the multi-million dollar purchases they make on a regular basis. It is less and less surprising to discover the colossal amounts that the world’s leading artists spend to fulfill some of their most extravagant whims.
One of the sectors in which celebrities most often invest today is real estate. The last to join the acquisition of luxury properties has been the American actor Brad Pitt. The protagonist of titles so acclaimed by the public and critics such as ‘Fight Club’, ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ or ‘Se7en’ has bought a few days ago one of the most expensive houses in Californiabeing Pitt’s second home in this State, since the actor has had a house in Goleta since 2000.
The new home is a historic building over 100 years old, nestled against the rocky cliffs of Carmel. The location of the mansion is unbeatable, located in the middle of nature on top of a hill overlooking the Pacific Oceanallows the actor to enjoy more privacy than any other house in the area.
For the project, the architectural firm Green and Greenone of the most influential at the beginning of the century, used natural materials that achieved a sublime integration with the landscape. An intentional balance that camouflages the mansion thanks to the use of sandstone and granite in its construction, as well as wood and natural tiles for exterior details. The foundation The Gamble Housededicated to maintaining the working memory of Green and Greenexplains on its website that the design was devised in this way so that it seemed that the exterior walls “grew on the cliffs”.
The property, known as Seaward, has easily earned the title of being the most exclusive plot of land in the privileged residential area of Carmel, a town that made headlines years ago for having actor Clint Eastwood as mayor in the 1980s. Now, Pitt joins the extensive celebrity lore with a mansion in the area. For the whopping amount of 40 million dollars, the American has joined a particularly popular neighborhood in the 50s, in which great stars such as Doris Day, Bing Crosby or Betty White have shared space.
